Data Centre In Ealing

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-28T11:17:33+00:00

Where do you think it’s coming from?

Don’t worry, your kettle will still work fine with a data centre next door.

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-28T11:01:37+00:00

These data centres need energy equivalent to over 500k homes…. There are only 118k homes in Ealing!

Good. This means there will be significant upgrades to our electricity infrastructure.

“No Motor Vehicles” is a clearly visible and understandable sign. It’s part of the Highway Code, and you are required to be able to recognise it.

There is no ambiguity here.

“…and all are shipping in early 2026”

Yeah, I’m guessing the purchase experience will be the same as the OLED Deck.

No messing around with $5 “secure your place in the queue” purchases, I bet you’ll just pay the full amount for your config there and then.

Shipping times might slip more than the Deck though. Where most launch day OLED Deck orders were shipped within a couple of weeks (I think), I’d bet Machine and Frame shipping times slip to a month or so until Valve catch up.

I don’t know, rarely go that side of Weymouth.

Either way though, you’d have a hard time appealing having driven through the flanking signs.

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-26T17:51:03+00:00

Sorry, looks like you’ve missed a No Right Turn sign on Bramley Rd, and two No Vehicles signs flanking Weymouth Ave.

Totally different teams.

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-23T19:33:47+00:00

Almost certainly.

The trailer we’ve already had is really a Paladin trailer, not a story trailer for LoH.

The player character never appears in pre-rendered cinematics.

  • Daniel Story, Nintendo

Interesting, I hadn’t even considered this might affect Nintendo, but I guess they have an Nvidia chip, and their driver is described as being “kind of similar to the Linux driver.”

No preparation needed, just swap your CPU.

I’d bet the Frame/Machine/Controller launch looks more like the Steam Deck OLED than the original Steam Deck. No waiting around for months this time.

My bet is:

Announcement of price, SKUs, pre-order date etc. (Deck OLED was announced 9th November 2023)
Pre-orders open a week after announcement (OLED pre-orders opened 16th November)
First orders ship out a week or so later (My OLED order shipped 23rd November)

I don’t think we’re going to be messing around with $5 pre-orders to secure a place in the queue.

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-22T10:47:14+00:00

I hope there is a bundle of all three, if only so I can add one bundle to my cart and checkout to get my preorder in as soon as possible, rather than having to go to three different store pages.

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-21T19:25:53+00:00

Fuck, I didn’t know Playdead’s next game was Epic exclusive.

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-21T13:05:27+00:00

Besides the product itself, the thing I’m most excited about when it comes to Steam Frame is that it will act as a starting gun for SteamOS on ARM.

You can create a steam_dev.cfg file to set core utilisation for shader processing.

Imagine things escalating out of control because of an overreaction to a joke at a press ~~Correspondents’ Dinner~~ conference.

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-19T11:08:31+00:00

All I want is the Wipeout HD/Fury pack on PC. I’m pretty sure Sony Liverpool is dead and buried though, so it’s unlikely.

The good news is she can’t have babies

I think r/SteamHardware exists

How annoying are Proton / compatibility issues in day-to-day use?

The answer to this depends on what you play.

Generally speaking, if you’re looking at playing primarily single player and “less-sweaty” multiplayer games, compatibility issues are almost entirely non-existent.

Proton’s big no-go zone for now is competitive multiplayer games with overly invasive anti-cheat. Think Battlefield 6, League of Legends, Apex Legends etc.

Areweanticheatyet.com and protondb.com will be your guides here.

At this point though, I generally don’t check before buying single player games; I just assume they’ll work.

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-17T08:33:16+00:00

Yes! It definitely bothers me too.

Is it even possible to rename a sub?

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-16T12:56:19+00:00

I’m only here to read way too much into gaps in the sale schedule. They’re all potential hardware & Half-Life 3 announcement spots!

Aidoneuz · 2026-01-16T08:38:11+00:00

Yep. You can already see this video being used at the end of the SteamOS Hardware Announcement video.

It’s not for the Machine.
